  • This video was shot at the Hamburg Turnpike crossing in Riverdale New Jersey
    After a harsh winter, i was able to get back to this crossing to catch the 99 and seeing that this is a busy road, when the 99 does come through, it makes drivers very angry.

    Cool! The only time this crossing made me angry was when it malfunctioned during rush hour.

      Look Out For The Train Mathews Ave is Notorious for malfunctions.

      On that road, near a highway exit? That won't end well if it hits during rush hour.

    Hi train, nice to see you.

    This is what get people so fed up about all the time! But I have a clever plan. They should build a bridge right next to the crossing over the tracks so the drivers WON'T get so fed up. Like, they'd build it on one side of the crossing and finish it on the other. They should do the same on the other lane as well.

      +Angie H You have a good idea Angie, but it most likly won't happen. The town of Riverdale wont spend all that money to build an overpass, just because the crossing gets a little busy. Plus the train action here is not that frequent enough to warrent a bridge. I see your point and agree, but the likely hood of that happening is very slim.

      Freedomtowerman Productions what I said WOULD be a waste of money.

    Can someone explain me why the lights keep going dark and then back on when their blinking?
    Or is it just a
    "camera VS LED"

  • @coach2476
    @coach2476 Před 8 lety +1

    Why did the lights look like they were flickering on and off.

  • @DieselElevators
    @DieselElevators Před 8 lety

    Your camera must really hate those lights.

    Mathews Ave the next RXR Crossing West of this RXR Crossing (Paterson-Hamburg Turnpike) doesn't do that

  • @Dan-uv5lw
    @Dan-uv5lw Před 7 lety

    Watch close, Why did the lights quit working at 1:38 for a few seconds?

    • @FreedomtowerStudios
      @FreedomtowerStudios  Před 7 lety

      It seems like it, but no, its just my camera's frame rate with the LEDs

  • @25vrd48
    @25vrd48 Před 7 lety +1

    I would be willing to say that the railroad was there before the hiway was built . Raise the taxes 10% & build an over-pass so all of the whinners could drive over the over-pass and would not have to stop a few minutes for a train to pass .

    00:59 Penn Central hopper car

    • @FreedomtowerStudios
      @FreedomtowerStudios  Před 9 lety +1

      Good Eye
      Yep. theres 2 of them, they are stull used by NYS&W but not as Penn Central anymore

  • @theunboxers8658
    @theunboxers8658 Před 8 lety

    There's a problem with the lights they keep turning on and off

    • @FreedomtowerStudios
      @FreedomtowerStudios  Před 8 lety

      +Theun Boxers They were working fine, its the framerate of the LEDs with my camera.

    01:43 power outage on railroad crossing??

    • @TboltSiren1000T
      @TboltSiren1000T Před 9 lety +3

      The railroad crossing was operating normal, its just some cameras sometimes cause a fade in LED lights in certain points of a video.

    • @realimbored668
      @realimbored668 Před 9 lety +2

      Nope WCH modules are crap so they do a full fade out and fade in unlike Safetran or any other good brand.
      WCH EBells are also turds in a metal shell. If I worked on a railroad I'd replace every piece of WCH equipment possible and sell it to collectors. Safetran and GS eBells are better (except the rare Safetran type 1 bell, that one is way too quiet and sounds awful).

    • @TheCandoRailfan
      @TheCandoRailfan Před 9 lety

      I hate WCH e-bells, however WCH m-bells are my favourite common m-bells. Believe it or not, but Safetran Type 1 e-bells are my favourite e-bell. WCH dotted LED's are my least favourite lights. All other LED's are ok. I like all incandescent lights, including WCH.

    • @realimbored668
      @realimbored668 Před 9 lety

      WCH MBells are decent but I like the RACO ones better

    • @pacificzonerailfan
      @pacificzonerailfan Před 8 lety

      +realimbored668 WCH has better mechanisms than Safetran. As you see the videos from Railfan Cal that those safetran mechanisms sound loud and annoying. Fruitridge are and 2nd Ave had fast gate drop problems

    ...... makes drivers angry" are those drivers so stupid as to be angry for a train???

    • @FreedomtowerStudios
      @FreedomtowerStudios  Před 7 lety

      no, they are not stupid, the train passed through during Rush Hour which makes people mad

    is anyone else tired of the graffiti? Looks like sh!t and it's almost become part of the normal railroading landscape.
